Verbose transcript view (Ctrl+O) doesn't auto-refresh while thinking
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 30, 2026 by rsotor Closed Apr 3, 2026
Description
When Claude Code is processing in the background (thinking/running tools), the verbose transcript view toggled with Ctrl+O doesn't auto-update with new content. You have to toggle it off and back on to see new output.
Expected behavior
The verbose transcript view should stream/auto-refresh as new content arrives while Claude is working in the background, similar to how the main output streams.
Current behavior
- Claude starts working on a task (thinking/running tools in background)
- Press
Ctrl+Oto see what's happening - The view shows content up to that moment but doesn't update
- Have to press
Ctrl+Otwice (off then on) to refresh and see new content
Environment
- Claude Code CLI (terminal)
- macOS
